<div class="center"><i> Welcome to the year 3XXX. A world that is similar to yours but not. With Futuristic technology but in a Victorian style wear. It a strange place this world. But there is a place where everyone goes to. A place where to relax in this strange world. Called [[Haven]] </i></div>

<div class="center"> This game is heavily inspired by game VA-11 HALL-A. Warning: Alcohol and drinking involved[[.|Start]]</div>

<<audio "Theme" loop play>> <div class="center"><img src="Images/Haven.jpg" height="450px"></div> You open the door and walk into Haven. The music is already blasting as it gets ready for the day. Alcohol is sitting on the self. You have no idea how long it was there for. Boss told you to not mind. The older the alcohol, the better it taste, she said. You greet your other coworkers there and went to the back. This is your job. <div class="center">You are a Bartender in, Haven[[.|Uniform]]</div>

You put on your uniform to get ready for the opening shift. The world is a bit strange. Haven is only the few places that can serve alcohol. The only place is not a club. Haven is a bar. A bar where people go and relax. They go to Haven to [[Talk]]

To [[Vent]]

To [[Confess]]

You went back to the bar and ready to work. Your coworkers were talking about the latest crime that is going on. You listen in the conversation and join in the conversation. It range to An underground bar was being investigated. A Caregiver was caught having sex but not at the hospital where they belong. An Android rebellion was crush down. A Dancer not performing for a high ranking personal[[.]]

<div class="center"><i>You know the simple stuff[[.|Boss]]</i></div>

Your boss, Lady Ann, comes in. You and your coworkers stops the conversation She smiled and remind you the rules of this place. <div class="center"><i> 1. Do not report on other people’s secrets. Whatever costumer said stays. 2. Remember your manners. We are in a realm of trust. 3. If a Costumer will cause harm to another costumer or you. Intervene.</i></div> <b>Remember this is how Haven operates. Remember, we are a place for our customers to Talk, Vent, and Confess.</b> Lady Ann turn around to open the door. The chime went off and costumers came. You all bow and said <div class="center"><b>[[Welcome to Haven]]</b></div>

You eyed the costumers that are coming through. They all attend to your coworkers as they sat on the table. You were the only one at the Bar and cleaning the glass. The chatter in the whole bar was loud but in your section is quiet. These are the seats for the people who want to sit alone. It loud but quiet. The world is strange indeed. Then you hear the chair in front of you move and someone sat down[[.|Sat down]] Oh look a Costumer.

It was an older gentleman. Middle Age. Looks Dressy. He has greed in his eyes. <i> Great a Business man</i> You told him Welcome to Haven and ask him what he want to have? The Business man replied, The most manliest thing you have. You want to tell him unless you want to pass out from the first taste, there is no possible manly drink. But you are a Bartender. You have to be polite. You serve him [[Whiskey?]] [[Gin and Tonic?]] [[Vodka?]] [[Beer?]] [[Hard Core Liquor?]]

<div class="center"><img src="Images/Whiskey.jpg" height="450px"></div> He looks at it once and was like what the heck is this? He started to curse you on your choice of drink. “Whiskey? Of all drinks? Nothing for gentleman like himself.” He heard him vent. He Cruse and walked out[[.|Wat]] Leaving you and your coworkers looking at each other in confusion. What just happen? This man probably cannot handle whiskey[[.|Ending1]]

<div class="center"><img src="Images/Gin and tonic.jpg" height="450px"></div> He takes the sip of the Gin and Tonic. He seems fine. He did not want to make conversation as he drinks. After he finish, you can see him just sitting there. His atmosphere was just thinking deeply. It your job to make sure there is no freeloaders. Be the guy is by alone, he probably wants another drink. You ask him, sir do you want more[[?]]

<div class="center"><img src="Images/Vodka.jpg" height="450px"></div> He looks at you in confusion. You smiled then explain your opinion on why Vodka is a manly drink. The drink reminds you of some Eastern European Man wrestling a Bear or something. The Businessman thought of a minute and nodded to have one. You pour him a shot of [[Vodka|Moar Shot]].

<div class="center"><img src="Images/Beer.jpg" height="450px"></div> He wanted a Beer. Man, this guy so basic. Like there is other more better drinks than just beer. However, you remember in school that Beer is the oldest drink in the world. Maybe it the age that makes college kids screaming for beer. Also the fact it is cheap too. That might be a factor. Let go back to the customer’s order. You pull the Beer leaver and the drink comes out slowly. It consists of a nice uniform colour in the bottom and the sweet white foam on top. A beautiful Pint of Beer from your own hands. You slide the beer towards him and you watch him take a sip[[.|Pint]]

<div class="center"><img src="Images/Hard liquor.jpg" height="450px"></div> You gave him hardcore Liquor. He took a couple of sips and he was grumbling but he seems like he was cursing about something. He ask for more. Maybe you should refuse[[.|Passout]] Or Maybe you should not[[.|No]]

Another customer slides in and asks if you were okay. You said it was fine but that was strange. The customer nod and asks for a pint of beer. You smiled and hand her the pint. You clean up again. Then again, this is Haven. The world is strange. What are you supposed to do? You clean out the glass of the drink and watch the other customers going by. In and out, up and down. You say those familiar worlds. Welcome to Haven[[.|Next Customer]]

The is ding

The Customer nodded as you slide another Gin and Tonic to him. The Businessman takes another sip of the drink. He looks around nervously. You did not ask why. Remember the second rule <b> Remember your Manners</b> When he was finish, he wave his glass at you and you made another Gin and Tonic[[.|another]]

"You know." You heard the Businessman speak. "You know, this place will have piled of money right now if there was not much restriction on places that serve alcohol and you guys have more people in this place." You give a small nod in agreement but you know your Boss. If she wants to make more money, she will fight head to toe. To get this bar to open, without it being a club, she fought hard. To make sure her employees take an oath of secretly, she fought a lot. Are people going to deny that she does not fight? The Businessman take another drink[[.|Pint2]]

The middle age goes into detail on what he will do to your work place if he own it and the government had more money. You just nodded. Like what are you supposed to do be rude to them? You think about it maybe you should do a slide remark[[.|Shade]] Maybe you should say nothing[[.|Nope]]

"It strange when you grow a large empire but you do not know when started to fall apart. I do not know how people do it. They can hold so much and keep it from falling apart." You nod. "I am a son of a great Politian. There was alot expected for me. I was born perfect. The problem was I was the youngest out of 20 kids. When my mother died, the wealth was not divided equally. Of course I need to make more money elsewhere[[.|Wealth]]"

After another drink, he seems to be a bit tipsy. You made a mental note in case he gets drunk. <b> It not allowed to go outside drunk and if they are, they need to go upstairs[[.|confession]] </b>

"You know." He said causing you jump back to reality[[.|Business]]

"The Friends I have are fake. We use our money and influence on each other. Trying to get our greedy hands into more wealth and power. Once you have an emotional connection to someone, they turn around and stab you in the back[[.|Marraige]]"

"I do not think I will get married. The first person I loved died a long time ago. There are perfect wives out there. Ready to pick but I am not interested in any. Ever since she died. It too bad, that we have to pick only the opposite sex too. Like I would not mind a nice husband in my arms but I need to pick a woman[[.|Bisexual]]"

"A lot of Babies are strange too. Is it not? They are not born from the wife but they are born form a caregiver in the hospital. Most of them are modified to be perfect. They are supposed to be stronger than our ancestors are in the year 2017. But are we even smarter? We made these great buildings and design but I do not know if we are smarter. I am one of those perfect children but I do not feel like I am.” The Businessman takes another sip[[.|sip]]

Throughout the conversion, you nodded. It not your choice to judge him but you can see his eyes turn from greedy to broken. The poor guy greed over takes him, he lost his love, and he has to hide his sexuality. Was there more? "I had a daughter once. Taboo, I know. But I was young and she was born. They took her away. I thought maybe. Just maybe...I can get her back. Maybe with the wealth, I can required. I can get my little girl back. I guess the greed took over. I miss her. They said babies who are not perfect are killed. I hope this was not in case for my little girl. She was beautiful. Made from love. From her and me. My love died giving birth. My daughter was so beautiful. She was imperfect. But she was perfect for me." You stared at the Businessman. Sure, these are not new. People do it all the time. Alone in the heat of lust or love, they do what people usually do. Babies are born from these unions. They are usually taken away. The hospitals advertise to have the babies from the Caregivers. It their job. Give birth to your modified baby[[.|Adoption]]

He takes another sip. "Sorry, I was not supposed to say too much for myself but this drink is good. What is this drink called? Gin and Tonic, right? It is really good. I guess manly enough to keep up my image. But honestly at this point, I do not even care anymore." He tries to get up but stumbles. He is not going to go out that door. Then there was a beep[[.|beep]] <div class="center"> He has to stay in Haven[[.|bed]] </div> At least until he gets sober.

It does many things. The microchip knows your memories. Even your partner's memories. It can check your behaviour. It can detect if you are drunk. The detectors at the front of the door will beep if you are drunk. It is a standard procedure when living in a world like this. It makes you feel normal in this world. But you know for you, it does not[[.|bed]]

You suggest the Businessman to go upstairs. When he tries to protest, he stumbles. He realizes there is no way he is going home without being brought back here by the patrolling police officer. You ask one of your coworkers to help you bring your drunk customer to upstairs but your Boss came and offer to help. You both went a place the Businessman to the bed. Lady Ann smiles at you and you nodded. Walking back down to do your job[[.|Next Customer]]

Lady Ann took it from him. He tried to stand up to take it back from her but she would not give it to him. When he tried he fell down on the floor. He got up and almost tried to drunk fight Lady Ann. But She push him and he fell again. This time he was unconscious. She looks at you and said, "You know you can intervene if you think he will die from alcohol poising." You look down in embarrassment from not stopping the man. She smiles and pats your head. She put the drink on the table and told your coworkers to bring the Businessman back upstairs. You watch them leave to upstairs. You clean the glass that contains the alcohol and wait for a bit. This is a safe place. People can get drunk all they want. As long as they do not go outside. It a good place[[.|Ending1]]

The Businessman was confused as he try to stumble pass your coworkers. The ancient meme of 'You're Drunk! Go home!’ Does not apply when you live in this world. There is a chip installed in our heads. Perfect kids have them since they were born[[.|chip]]

While you were cleaning the glass, you heard someone say, "Hello." You turn around and see a young lady standing before you. You give a nod and ask what she wants. She wants is a bit confused. You look at her outfit. She was wearing a simple black dress and simple makeup. Classy. She probably just wants a night out. You suggest [[Gin and Tonic|Gin2]] [[Sangria]]

You stop him. He just stared. He tried to protest but when he fell backwards a bit, he realizes how drunk he was. You let out a sigh in relief. At least this man is okay. You take his shot glass and put it elsewhere. After a few minutes of silence, you heard him speak. "Wou WnoK....Me h-aasss eh d-add-sssssmaa---widddd." You nodded but you know enough drunk talk to make out he had a kid. Was he married? For a Middle Age Businessman especially in this strange world, he probably is. Marriage is simple. You can pick a wife automatically. There is a bunch of perfect wives to pick out. You can date too. It always been between a man and a woman[[.|Next part]]

You pass him another shot but before he can drink..[[.|Lady Ann]]

The world is strange is it not? But people always come to your work place. They are always Welcome to Haven. A place where they can Talk Vent Confess. As you clean up the glass. You smiled. Your workplace is the only place that makes sense. Talking to people make some sense in the world. You like this job[[.|Continue?]]

You want to start over[[?|Start]]

You refuse to give him a drink. He was going to curse you but Then he passed out. You and your coworkers look at the drunk costumer on the bar table. You sigh and ask one of your coworkers to cover for you. Your Boss was laughing and said she will help you. She also praise that you intervene from that. You brought the Business Man in the room upstairs. <div class="center"><b>It against the Law to be drunk outside. All places that serve alcohol must have a bedrooms upstairs[[.|Wat]]</b></div> You went back to your place behind the bar.

You hesitate a bit but you decided you should. You give him another glass but before he can take it..[[.|Lady Ann]]

"Wiii Weet wettle g--gurl. Papa weeiss wuu so sunch." He said as he drift to sleep on the bar table. You look at him and you sigh. Then single one of your coworkers to help bring this man upstairs. Your boss instead laughs then help you bring him back upstairs. You let out a sigh, why does this always happen to you. Once you brought him upstairs, you let him sleep. Then you went back downstairs to serve the next customer[[.|Next Customer]]

You said something like, if my boss wants to make more money, she will probably will fight to the death to do it. You heard her laugh but the Businessman was less amuse. "I thought this place was for people to be comfortable to talk, vent, and confess. I guess I was wrong." He said as he angrily put his pint down and walk out. He was not drunk enough to have the scanners beep at him. Lady Ann smirks and pats your head, "Maybe next time be nicer to him." She said. You nodded[[.|Wat]] The world is still strange.

He continues his Vent about how the government keeps controlling everything. How there should be more places that serves Alcohol. How Androids are ruining everything [[.|Andiords]]

You can see the other customers are uncomfortable hearing him talk about his anti-android rant. But he is not causing harm to anyone and you have to zip your mouth and listen. You overheard some customers around you. There were chats going all around on talking about this subject. Then again, this is the point of Haven is it not? It a place where customers Talk Vent And Confess. You nodded neither agreeing nor disagreeing with your customer. You just nod[[.|Ending1]]

<div class="center"><img src="Images/Sangria.jpg" height="450px"></div> You made her some Sangria and poor it in the glass. She stared and smile at you. Then she takes a small sip. It seems like something she really likes. When it was empty, you wonder if you should pour her some more. Should you[[?|Pour more]] Or should you not[[?|Left]]

<div class="center"><img src="Images/Gin and tonic.jpg" height="450px"></div> Surprise, she looks at the drink she clearly never seen before. You give to her and watch her drink. She really likes it. You smiled and watch her drink it[[.|Another drink]]

You ask her if she wants more. She smiled and said, "Yes." You filled her glass with another glass of Sangria. As she drinks the glass, she started to talk. "This is my first time here. I cannot believe how quiet this is compare to other places." There is other places that serve alcohol are clubs. Haven is a place where people come, relax, and talk. You give her a smile as you explain. She nod and took another sip. She asks for another cup of the drink. You poured more[[.|Drink]]

You did not pour another drink. She paid and left Haven. You watch her go and start to clean up the glass[[.|Ending1]]

She looks around nervously as she drinks. You can sense there is something tense. You want to ask her if she wants more and she nod. You gave her another drink[[.|Confortation]]

She asks for another and you happily serve it to her. The drink is nice. She seems a bit relax and having a bit fun[[.|pourmore]]

She asks for another refill on the drink and you happily do it. She sips her drink then holds her glass looking at it. You did not notice as you attend other customers till she spoke[[.|Another Confession]]

"The World is strange is it not?" She ask you and you nod in the agreement. She is right the world is strange. It is very strange. There are places where you can pick a wife. A place where you get modified perfect babies. The world is strange as it can be. "I can tell. You are similar to me. You are not perfect[[.|Imperfection]]" You were silent. You do not want to say[[.|continuation]]

You rather want to tell the poor guy that there is places that save kids who were born not perfect but you cannot say. This problem only happens to the rich and powerful. But there might be a chance his daughter might be alive somewhere. You know for a fact because you are not perfect too[[.|Perfect]]

Your eyes look away. You cannot say the truth or not but this is why you got the job here. Haven is a place that is welcome for all. Everyone here has a story and yours is not different. Boss let you get away with alot of stuff because she knows you are not modified. You are real. Your parents did keep you however. They love you so much and work hard to make sure you fit in this world. They bought the chip that is in your head. <div class="center"><span class="bigtext">Something to make you feel normal in this world[[.|Normal]]</span></div> You really cannot be normal, in a world where they expect everyone to be perfect. Everyone has a role. You do not fit that role. You are glad when Lady Ann took you in. This is a place where you can find a job. The lady realize she made you uncomfortable and apologize[[.|Alright]]

Your eyes darted away from her. She was worried if she said something sensitive. She apologizes if she did. You just nod and continue serving the drinks. After a while, the young woman said. "It fine if you are not perfect. I live a great life even for that. They said there are many kids classified as imperfect. They are the ones that who are grown up to be poor. I guess I am the lucky ones[[.|Lucky]]"

"I never knew my biological father. My adopted parents said they took me away from him because of me not being perfect. The Hospital said my father gave me up on purpose. I guess my father must have been from a political family or a great Politian if they did either of that. I think family of lower importance are not taken away right?" You nod as you have too but honestly, you know it is true. Your parents are not from a great political family. So you will not be taken away from them. Ostracised in this strange world, yes. But never taken away[[.|Mother]]

"Honestly the goal for my wealth was good. But the Get rich and quick, Lifestyle overtakes me. As I think whatever happens to my life, it was karma. Money is Money. I guess[[.|Friends]]" He said as he took another sip of his drink.

You tell her it is fine but she can tell she made you feel uncomfortable. She decided to leave and give you a tip. You stared at the money and put it in your pocket[[.|Ending1]]

"This is a strange world is it not?" She ask you and you nod. "I do not like it. People are treating others like crap. Android are oppressed. And people are hurting each other. People want someone who is perfect." She continue saying and her voice sound aggravated as she takes another drink[[.|aggravated]]

"I never really knew my mother either. She died when I was born. I think. I do not know the details. They were about to kill me before my adopted parents paid the hospital enough money to take me away. They were a rich family. They are powerful but they are not from this area. So we went to live in their home country[[.|Search]]

"I always been interested in both but was more leaning towards Men. I did not even change when I meet her. I love her to death. I was happy with her. But I always have a preference of men. She knew but she is glad I make her happy in the moment. I am glad she made me happy. I was willing to have my life together with her. Even if it was taboo… When she died…My world was scattered but I was also free. I vowed too never fall in love with another woman. Too bad, I have to pick a wife at the end. That is how our world works. I know I will be more happy if I was with a man[[.|Babies]]"

"I am old enough to search for them. You think I will find them?" She asks you. You just nod. She realizes what she ask. "Silly me. I realize you really cannot say anything that might hurt me." She said and you smiled. "But honestly I hope I will find them." She continued to say. "You probably will." Another voice said and you both look to see Lady Ann right beside her[[.|Center]]

Lady Ann told the Young Lady of a center that will match her DNA to any of the political families out there. You watch the Young Lady's eyes brighten at the thought but Lady Ann warns her whatever information she gains, it is her decision what she will do with it. She nodded and said thanks. She paid you and left to check out the center. You look at your Boss questionable and she pats your head. "I am not breaking the rules. She is following her own drum." Lady Ann said and you nod[[.|Coupleofdays]]

It was a couple of days later. You were cleaning out some of the glasses behind your usual spot behind the bar. Haven will not be open for a while. You just are minding your own business when a newspaper slams on the table in front of you. You notice Lady Ann smiling and showing you the article. You look at her and read the article. It talks about an Anonymous young lady reunited with her father. It said the Young Lady and her father's identities are kept in tight security for safety reason. You smiled at the article and your Boss smiled to you[[.|Ending2]]

This is what you like about your job. This is what you like about Haven. It is a place where people Talk, Vent, and Confess. Haven is a place where people are reunited. It also the place where people are lost they are found. Haven is where you have a family. A place you belong. For you it fine. You are glad you work here. You are happy in Haven[[.|Continue?]]

"What the point of being perfect? Babies made to be perfect are flawed too. They are only human right. What is the point for people paying so much money for these perfect babies? When there are the same kind of kids out there too." She said as she sips her drink. Sangria is not supposed to make you drunk but you think the subject is just really touchy to her. You look around her and people were a bit uncomfortable at her talking. Well it makes sense for some of the other customers are perfect. They are modified kids from the hospital[[.|Agreed]]

You do agree with her in some extends. The people who think are perfect because they are modified as such. Therefore, they can exercise their superiority over others. They are no different from other people. They are still flawed. Another customer came and try to fight with the young lady on the subject but she continue with her Vent. You watch and hoping it will not escalated. Should you stop it[[.|Stop]] Maybe just leave it[[.|Do not]]

You watch the two of them fight over and over the subject until the newcomer form a fist to punch the young lady. You stop their arm before it reaches the young lady. They look at you in confusion then Lady Ann came. "Remember, do not harm each other." She said with a smile. The customer realizing what they did stop and apologize before going back. You went back to work and the Young Lady looks at you more closely. "You are imperfect too." She said. You tried to ignore her on what she just said. She smiled at your avoidance at the question. At least there is more people like her in the world[[.|Ending3]]

Seeing the other customer getting more agitated, they were already going to punch. You did not stop them. As the other customer was going to punch the Young Lady, Lady Ann stops them. They turn and she shakes her head. "Remember do not hurt other customers. This one should know already." Your boss jester to you and it cause you look down in embarrassment. The Young Lady got up to leave and looks at you with disappointment in her eyes. You look away. Lady Ann said it was not your fault but you feel a bit bad. But honestly what can you do and you clean the glass[[.|Ending4]]

The Young Lady asks you for your name. You told her your name. She smiles and tips you before leaving. You think it weird. But every day she keeps coming. She became your friend. You teach her how to survive this strange world. She eventually told you she was looking for biological father. But right now, she does not really care for that to happen. So she is happy to stay here. Lady Ann offers her a job and she gladly accepted. You have a new friend and coworkers[[.|3]]

This is what you like about Haven. People can talk what they want. It helps you get some sense in the world. Along the way, you meet new friends as well. All because of a couple of drinks[[.|Continue?]]

You look a bit sad and wish you could help the girl. People usually do that. Haven is a place to Talk, Vent, and Confess. If they feel like none is going to listen. Maybe they should not go anymore. That is a problem because <div class="center"><b> THAT IS NOT WHAT HAVEN IS ABOUT!</b></div> Haven is a place where people can be themselves and have a drink as well. You wish you can do more[[.|Continue?]]

No matter how hard you tried, you are not exactly <b>"Normal[[.|Imperfection]]"</b>
